Are you trying to implement it? Have you tried Data.List.isPrefixOf? Are 
you aware of just how many different titles there are in the world, both 
gender-specific and non-gender-specific (although admittedly fewer and 
less ambiguous than it is for names)?...Probably some of them will 
appear after someone's name rather than before, too, and then you get to 
play with fun contradictory things like "Madam So-and-so, Prince of 
Wales".  This smells like a fishy thing to do, I suppose it's like 
homework rather than the real world...?

P.S. gender discrimination! :-P
